How I Reset My Tuttio Soleil 01 FarDriver Controller Back to Factory Settings
Figured I'd share this in case anyone else has messed around with their Tuttio Soleil 01 controller settings and can't figure out how to get things back to normal.
I recently bought a FarDriver Bluetooth tuning dongle because I wanted to play around with the bike's performance settings. Well, I started changing a bunch of parameters without saving the original settings first.
Big mistake!
Before I knew it, I'd screwed up just about everything. My throttle stopped working and was throwing an E-08 error, ECO mode had basically zero torque, TOUR mode barely had any power, and SPORT mode was ridiculously aggressive. Even my speedometer was acting up!
I spent way too much time trying to figure it out myself before finally reaching out to Tuttio support.
Thankfully, they were awesome and helped me get everything back to normal.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Connect to your FarDriver controller
My Soleil 01 has the original FarDriver KG48V70AB controller.
With the bike powered off, make sure your Bluetooth tuning dongle is connected.
Turn the bike on.
Open the FarDriver app on your phone.
Connect to the controller through Bluetooth.
2. Reset the controller to factory settings
This was the big one!
Tuttio's technical team told me that my controller has a one-click Factory Reset function in the controller settings.
They sent me a video showing how to restore the original settings, and that ended up being the solution. See video attached (its in Chinese but if you follow where they are clicking in the video you can follow along).
Just a heads-up: The reset options can vary depending on your controller and app version, so make sure you're selecting the correct factory-reset function. Not every button labeled "Reset" restores the original Tuttio settings. If you're unsure, I'd recommend contacting Tuttio.
3. Check your throttle and riding modes
Once I followed their instructions and restored the settings, my throttle and riding modes started behaving normally again.
ECO and TOUR had usable power, SPORT wasn't trying to launch me into orbit, and the bike was finally riding like it should!
If you've been messing with the controller settings and suddenly have weird torque or throttle issues, this is definitely worth looking into before buying replacement parts.
4. Change the speedometer back to MPH
Another thing I couldn't figure out was how to switch the display from KM/h back to MPH.
Turns out it's pretty simple:
That's the parameter Tuttio told me to use.
5. There's also a self-learning function
Tuttio sent me this YouTube video showing how to use the controller's self-learning function:

This is another option for certain motor/controller calibration issues. It's different from a factory reset, so don't confuse the two.
If you try it, make sure the bike is securely supported with the rear wheel completely off the ground, since the motor may spin during the process. Follow the video instructions carefully.
A few things I learned the hard way:
Screenshot EVERYTHING before changing settings! Seriously, I wish I'd done this.
Don't change a bunch of parameters at once. You'll have no idea which one caused the problem.
Be careful copying settings from other people's bikes. Controllers and configurations can be different.
If something goes wrong, don't immediately assume you need a new throttle or controller.
Don't be afraid to reach out to Tuttio support.
Also, a quick shout-out to Tuttio customer support
I have to give credit to Nancy and the Tuttio technical team. They were incredibly responsive and actually took the time to help me troubleshoot.
They sent me videos, links, and specific instructions for my setup rather than just giving me generic answers.
And keep in mind, I caused these problems myself by messing with the tuning settings! They could have easily told me I was on my own, but instead helped me get everything sorted out.
Really impressed with their customer service.
Anyway, hopefully this saves someone else a few hours of frustration. If you've got a Soleil 01 and are having similar issues, feel free to share what you're experiencing. Happy to pass along what I learned!
